Leave It There

 1 Peter 5:7  Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

When the worries of life press us down, we don’t have to bear them alone. 


Thank God, the Lord cares and is stronger than we are.  


He is willing to carry our load.


Leave It There

If the world from you withhold of its silver and its gold,    —    And you have to get along with meager fare,    —    Just remember, in His Word, how He feeds the little bird    —    Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.


CHORUS:

Leave it there, leave it there,    —    Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there;    —    If you trust and never doubt, He will surely bring you out    —    Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.


If your body suffers pain and your health you can’t regain,    —    And your soul is almost sinking in despair,    —    Jesus knows the pain you feel, He can save and He can heal    —    Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.


When your youthful days are gone and old age is stealing on,    —    And your body bends beneath the weight of care;    —    He will never leave you then, He’ll go with you to the end    —    Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.


Charles A. Tindley  1916
